It’s hard to replace a legend. But that’s what the folks at Britain’s McLaren are planning to do with their P1, try and better the vaunted McLaren F1 — some say the greatest supercar ever. With a production version set to go on sale in about 12 months, what you’re looking at above is a “design study”, set to debut at the Paris auto show next week. The P1 already looks more exotic and daring than the rather generic-looking McLaren MP4-12C. And McLaren says the production P1 will be faster and — as you may have guessed — more expensive than the MP4, as well.
